Changsheng: Peak at the Beginning

When Jiang Xinxin and Mother Chen were going down the mountain, they were still thankful that they did not go deep into the mountain temple, otherwise it would be difficult to come out safely. Mother Chen also looked scared, "It was indeed my carelessness today. Fortunately, we were still a little careful. Otherwise, if you died in this desolate mountain at such a young age, how could I explain to your parents?"

Jiang Xinxin had come to her senses by now. She still felt that the handsome and attentive temple keeper had no ill intentions and that it was the mother and daughter who overreacted. However, it was not easy to tell this to Mother Chen. After all, with the temple keeper's face around, Mother Chen might easily think that she had been seduced by his beauty and had lost her mind.

What Jiang Xinxin was most worried about was Ye Xiwu. She herself didn't know whether she could earn merit for Ye Xiwu and keep a glimmer of hope for her life by withholding the proceeds from Ye Xiwu's dowry to provide porridge and medicine. She could only grit her teeth and keep doing it.

However, Li Susu's life has been very good recently. Firstly, the man she wanted to influence, Tan Tai Jin, has been studying very hard recently. She has deliberately selected many classics on Confucian ethics and Taoist self-cultivation, trying to shape Tan Tai Jin into a sage gentleman who is concerned about the country and the people. Secondly, she has felt the love that everyone in the General's Mansion has for Ye Xiwu, and she has also experienced the warm humanity of everyone in the General's Mansion. When she was in Xiaoyao Sect, even with a master and fellow disciples, she still couldn't resist such doting.

Li Susu is indulged in her wonderful life now. She does not hide the difference between herself and Ye Xiwu at all. Chuntao, the personal maid, has been completely taken in by Li Susu. Jiang Xinxin and Mother Chen have tried to test the Grand Princess again, but she still thinks that "Ye Xiwu" has finally grown up.

Jiang Xinxin and Mother Chen finally gave up completely on the General's Mansion and just quietly increased the efforts to provide porridge and medicine, thinking that they were just making a last-ditch effort.

After obtaining the power of the dream demon, Tan Tai Jin, after being well behaved for a while, finally remembered Xuancheng King Xiao Lin again.

Because of the invitation to a banquet in the palace, Li Susu learned that Ye Xiwu would never miss any opportunity to go out in the past. She thought it would be a good idea to go to the palace to see the imperial palace on earth, so she gladly accepted the invitation and brought Tan Tai Jin with her.

On the way, Li Susu insisted on going to see the place where Tan Tai Jin used to live. Tan Tai Jin was too obvious about it, and he also wanted to see what this "Ye Xiwu" wanted to do to him, so he took Li Susu to the cold palace where he used to live.

The palace maids in the cold palace were all low-ranking maids with no money and no connections. As soon as Tan Tai Jin showed up, a small steward named Wu came to talk to Tan Tai Jin. Li Susu couldn't help but hide aside and eavesdrop, only then did she know that the small steward named Wu actually instigated Tan Tai Jin to kill Xuancheng King Xiao Lin.

Regardless of the attitude of Wu Guanshi in speaking and doing things or the content of his words, Tan Tai Jin felt that it was very absurd. He couldn't help laughing out loud: "You don't think that you can reach the top in one step by hooking up with the fifth prince Xiao Liang?"

Emperor Sheng has seven adult princes, but the fifth one, Xiao Liang, is a fool as famous as Ye Xiwu in the capital. Even if such a person has the status of a prince, can he get the throne unless all other princes are dead?

Manager Wu was even more arrogant than before when he had no backing at all. He even threatened Tan Tai Jin directly: "You don't think that your status as a hostage of Jing Country is really that important, do you? Everyone in the government and the country knows that the two countries will have a war sooner or later. As a hostage sent by Jing Country, once the war starts, you will only be sent to the front line and killed as a sacrifice!"

"If you help the Fifth Prince complete this task today, the Fifth Prince may speak a few good words for you in the future and plead for mercy. Perhaps you can be spared from death."

Chief Steward Wu himself is a member of the vulnerable group in the palace, but Tan Tai Jin has always been weaker than him, so he has joined forces with other palace people to bully Tan Tai Jin and has become accustomed to it. Today, he couldn't stand being contradicted by Tan Tai Jin, and he continued to belittle and insult Tan Tai Jin in his words, which made Li Susu, who was eavesdropping on the side, terrified, fearing that Tan Tai Jin would rise up and kill people.

However, Tan Tai Jin would not use such crude means as Li Susu thought. He directly summoned a carnivorous hummingbird, and when he was talking to Emperor Sheng, he ordered the hummingbird to drill into the heart of Chief Steward Wu, allowing Chief Steward Wu to experience the heart-wrenching pain - his heart was eaten by the hummingbird and was riddled with holes.

When he died, Tan Tai Jin had already returned to the General's Mansion and was pretending to be helping Ye Xiwu with his homework.

Of course Emperor Sheng was worried about Tan Tai Jin. Previously, he wanted to let Tan Tai Jin go back to confront Tan Tai Minglang so that Sheng Kingdom could reap the benefits. However, Tan Tai Jin refused to mention the topic of returning to Jing Kingdom and said that he just wanted to live a simple and peaceful life.

Emperor Sheng was still worried that Tan Tai Jin was out of control, but Xiao Lin persuaded him, "Father, don't rush to make a decision. Tan Tai Jin has never left our sight in the General's Mansion. If he really has no desire for power, we can be generous and let him live in peace in Sheng State."

Of course, Sheng Huang also had the idea of ​​occupying the high ground of public opinion, but he was just really worried about Tan Tai Jin.

As it turned out, Tan Tai Jin was indeed not reassuring. The death of Butler Wu should have been over soon, but he had met Tan Tai Jin before and the two had a secret conversation. Emperor Sheng's already hanging heart was lifted again, especially since a lot of contraband items were found in Butler Wu's room. It was hard for Emperor Sheng not to think too much.

The death of Manager Wu implicated Tan Tai Jin, and Tan Tai Jin had to return to the palace to await trial. After a period of observation, Li Susu has determined that the reason Tan Tai Jin became a demon god was not only because the demon bones in his body were constantly absorbing the evil spirits and demonic energy between heaven and earth, but also because Tan Tai Jin had suffered tremendous hardships and had given up on this world.

Therefore, Li Susu certainly could not allow Tan Tai Jin to be humiliated, so she followed him into the palace again. However, she had no cultivation at all now. Although she still had the ability to draw talismans and set up formations, she was trapped in a body without any spiritual power and could only barely protect herself.

Well, two days ago, only one chief steward, Wu, stood up to insult Tan Tai Jin. This time, everyone who saw him in the palace showed a look of fear and hatred towards Tan Tai Jin. Tan Tai Jin himself was emotionally indifferent, so he didn't feel anything, but Li Susu felt uneasy when she saw these people's eyes that looked like they wanted to eat someone.

Tan Tai Jin once again rejected the Emperor Sheng's proposal to support him to go back and fight Tan Tai Ming Lang for the throne, and then he met the fifth prince Xiao Liang. Xiao Liang mentioned that he had found someone to humiliate Tan Tai Jin many times, which finally angered Tan Tai Jin. However, because he was in the palace and there were people watching him secretly, he could not do anything and just pretended that he heard nothing.

But after the person in secret reported the news, Emperor Sheng became more and more wary of Tan Tai Jin.

Emperor Sheng said to Xiao Lin, "A person who can endure the humiliation of being kicked in the crotch is at least a local hero. Do you still insist on not killing Tan Tai Jin?"

Xiao Lin had nothing to say. He still insisted that he couldn't kill Tan Tai Jin at this time. He could only remind Emperor Sheng: "Then are you going to give up your father's plan to let Tan Tai Jin return to Jing Kingdom to disrupt the current situation?"

Emperor Sheng was quite satisfied with Xiao Lin's attitude at this time, and said with a smile: "You can let Tan Tai Jin go back to Jing State, but you can't let him live too long or too short, otherwise Jing State won't be in chaos, and Sheng State won't have an opportunity to take advantage of it."
